Unable to retrieve tor settings - Please ensure Tor is running
I use TorBrowser (7.5 FF 52.6.0 64-bit) with an independent Tor (0.3.2.9) process. Linux 4.13.9-1-ARCH
Configs:
in .bashrc : export TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH=1
in start-tor-browser : setControlPortPasswd ${TOR_CONTROL_PASSWD:='"xxxxxxxx"'}
and every configuration suggested in start-tor-browser modified in about:config
This always worked fine for browsing, but with one inconvenience: I wasn't able to use the option "Tor Network Settings..." at the TorButton menu, it always gives the error "Unable to retrieve tor settings - Please ensure Tor is running".
Checking the logs, I've found that TorButton gets the right password for control connection, but TorLauncher receives the password with extra double quotes TorButton connects with no problem, but TorLauncher doesn't.
Here's the log:
